I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law (ABA-IPL) in this new year. ABA-IPL is the world’s largest organization of intellectual property attorneys and the oldest substantive group in the ABA. The Section’s tradition-rich leadership history makes my own task truly humbling.
